Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

Qi Lin deliberately ignored Shi Le's question, turned around and called the passing housekeeper, asked him for the key that had been dusted for a long time, and opened the heavy door of the old study.

Contrary to Qi Lin's expectation, the old study didn't feel old at all.Everything inside was neatly placed, and there was no trace of dust on the cabinet.

Someone must have been cleaning the place.

In the study room, facing the door is a large three-meter-high bookcase, which is filled with all kinds of books. In addition to professional books, there are also all kinds of novels.

Next to the bookcase is a sandalwood desk with a mahogany pen holder on the left and a metal lamp on the right.But what caught Qi Lin's attention the most was the fan framed by a glass picture frame hanging on the desk wall.

Many people like to mount fans, and write words such as "peace of mind" or "smooth sailing" on the pure white fan.

But this fan is strange, there is not a single word on it.

The entire blank fan is like a window, hanging alone on the wall.

Qi Lin's concern didn't last long, he thought, maybe this was his father's unique hobby.

After all, his father left Qi Lin since he was a child, and Qi Lin knew little about his father's preferences.

"Let's go through these documents separately." He said to Shi Le.

Shi Le hadn't come out of the question just now, but didn't ask any more, obediently took down all the books on the bookcase one by one, and searched carefully page by page.

"You can just shake a book when you get it. Otherwise, when will you find so many books?" Qi Lin questioned Shile's efficiency.

Ke Shile shook his head, "These books are all left over from the past, so it's better to keep them well. There may be some books that uncle likes here, what should I do if they get old?"

Qi Lin was speechless for a while.Good storage is one thing, efficiency is another.He didn't think it was good to rummage slowly like this, but he didn't correct Shi Le.

After all, it is a heart, something is better than nothing.

Qi Lin sat cross-legged across from Shi Le, and together with Shi Le, they rummaged through the things inside.Sometimes when I see a good-looking novel, I will glance at it to see the wonderful plots in it that have been annotated by my father.

This is very inefficient and the passage of time is slow.There is no sunlight in the basement, and the alternation of day and night is not felt.

Following the butler's second meal delivery, Qi Lin knew that it was already evening.

"Did you find anything?" Qi Lin asked Shi Le.

"No."

"I didn't find anything here either." Qi Lin stood up and separated the books he had found from the books he hadn't found. "Let's take a rest first, and come and eat something."

He brought the dishes on the tray into the room from the door, picked a corner without books around, and invited Shile to come and eat.

The dishes tonight are quite rich.Roast beef with potatoes and broccoli are both Qi Lin's favorite foods.

It stands to reason that Shi Le also likes to eat these two dishes, but Qi Lin ate half of them, and Shi Le still didn't move.

"Shile!" He called to Shile who was still flipping through books, "Let's eat first."

Shi Le agreed with her lips, but the soles of her feet still showed no sign of moving.

This guy didn't eat much at noon, and if he doesn't eat now, he might be starving.

Seeing this, Qi Lin walked up to Shi Le, grabbed Shi Le's arm with one hand, and Shi Le's shoulder with the other, pulling Shi Le up.

"It's time to eat! If you do this again, I won't let you look for it." Qi Lin frowned, and pulled Shi Le up abruptly.

He predicted that pulling up Shile should not be much different from pulling up a light adult.

Qi Lin has practiced judo, and his strength is more than enough to pull people.

It's a pity that he was too confident in his own strength when pulling, and he didn't pay attention to the situation behind his feet.

"Understood, I'll just..." When he was pulled up, Shi Le was sullen, he pouted, and before he could say anything, he tripped over a tall book on the soles of his feet, and fell towards Qi Lin with his unsteady center of gravity.

bang——

Shi Le's soft body hit Qi Lin's strong chest.Qi Lin staggered backwards, took two steps backwards, and bumped into the bookcase behind.

The sound is crisp and harmonious.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shi Le apologized again and again, and Qi Lin's back was a little sore from the collision.

"Senior, are you okay?" Shi Le tugged Qi Lin's shoulder with concern, wanting to see what was going on behind Qi Lin.

Qi Lin did not let Shi Le get what he wanted.

He twisted his body, stood firmly, and grabbed Shi Le's wrist.

"Did you hear that?" He asked Shi Le.

Shi Le asked in a daze, "What did you hear?"

"The sound of me hitting a cabinet just now."

When Qi Lin said this, Shi Le's eyes filled with guilt instantly.He touched Qi Lin lovingly, as if touching a work of art.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now. Brother Lin, let me touch it for you, be good, don't hurt."

"I'm not asking you to listen to this." Qi Lin sideways avoided Shi Le's hand, "I mean the sound of the cabinet."

"cabinet?"

Qi Lin supported Shi Le, and then knocked on the cabinet with his knuckles.

"Is this voice wrong?"

"Really, it feels like there's room behind the cabinet."

The location of the home is large enough that there is likely to be room behind this cabinet.

He groped around for the cabinet, found a suitable place to use his strength, and pushed it, but it didn't work.

Shi Le lay down to watch.

"Senior, there are slide rails under here."

"That means there is a mechanism." Qi Lin touched along the bookcase, but found nothing abnormal.All the books on the bookcase have been taken down, and the rest of them are very smooth, not looking like they have organs.

Then, his eyes moved to the desk lamp.

Qi Lin flicked the lamp switch twice, but nothing happened.The desk lamp and the table are attached very tightly, as if they were originally one.

He dragged the base and twisted it, and the bookcase was opened like a sliding door.

A dark room appeared in front of Qi Lin.

"It's amazing, the plot can only be seen in movies!" Shi Le poked his head in with great interest, and within a few seconds, he came back, his face livid.

Qi Lin knew that Shi Le saw something bad.

He pulled Shi Le behind him, and found the light switch in the darkroom along the wall.

Press it, and the room brightens up.Incandescent light shines through the glass jars and illuminates the room.

Qi Lin was dumbfounded.

In this glass jar, there are organ specimens of unknown animals, large and small.They are arranged one by one, packed in different jars, and soaked in high concentration formalin.

Does it look... human?

Qi Lin subconsciously took a step back.

Unexpectedly, there is such a thing under the house where I have been living.

Moreover, it was very likely that it belonged to his father.

"The specimen soaked here may be older than me." Qi Lin gasped.
